New Boutique Now Open in Arlington Center

The aptly-named Arlington Centered, or 'aC' for short, opened Saturday, Sept. 29.

Arlington Centered, a new boutique from the owners of Davis Squared in Somerville, has opened for business in Arlington Center. The “fun and funky” gift shop at 487 Massachusetts Ave., the recently vacated Main Event Tuxedo spot, opened its doors Saturday, Sept. 29, according to its website and Facebook page. The store’s Facebook page has a photo gallery of its colorful interior and merchandise. The boutiques’ owners, husband-and-wife Paul and Melisa Christie, opened Davis Squared five years ago at 409 Highland Ave. in Somerville.

Davis Square Boutique Opening Arlington Center Location

The owners of Davis Squared are opening Arlington Centered at the recently vacated Main Event Tuxedo spot on Massachusetts Avenue.

Davis Squared, a “fun and funky” gift shop in, well, Somerville’s Davis Square, announced Thursday afternoon that it’s opening a store in Arlington Center at the end of the month. The boutique is moving into the recently vacated Main Event Tuxedo spot at 487 Massachusetts Ave. (which is to the left of Punjab). The new location will fittingly be called Arlington Centered or “aC” for short, according to the store’s press release. Davis Squared also goes by “d2.” Davis Squared, which opened five years ago at 409 Highland Ave. in Somerville, is known for its industrial floor, gothic welded steel display casings and chalkboard-paint wall, according to the release. The Arlington location, which is currently undergoing renovations, will have the …

I'm thrilled that D2 is coming to Arlington (I've been wondering what is coming into that space)! As a former Davis Sq resident, I frequented D2 a lot for all those special occasions that always seem to pop up. Sometimes, I even treated myself to something fun (but quite reasonably priced). This is why I moved to Arlington - few chain stores, locally-owned businesses (Orange Hanger, Forest 13 …   more ›

POLL: Do You Have Air Conditioning?

Will you be cranking up the AC today or judging those who do?

To some, air conditioning is a No. 1 priority in the summer months. To others, it's not needed in New England and a waste of money and energy. What side of the fence are you on?

Shouldn't there be other choices? Like, "No, my house stays cool unless a heatwave lasts longer than three days" or "No, I suffer in the name of reducing greenhouse gases" or "Yes, I have a sick pet who might die in the heat". I mean, if you are going to be adding value judgments to the yes and no, at least give us a few more values to choose from!   more ›

5 Things You Need To Know Today

5 Ways to Beat the Heat in Arlington

With temperatures expected to top 100 degrees today, why not go to the beach, a spray pool, a movie, ice-cream parlor or just an air-conditioned building, all here in Arlington.

With temperatures expected to hit 101 degrees in Arlington today, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for all of eastern Massachusetts. Here are five ways to beat the heat: 1.) Reservoir Beach is now open. Spy Pond is not due to high levels blue-green algae. 2.) The spray pool at Lussiano Park on North Union Street is also open, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Just as an FYI, the park has no bathrooms. 3.) If you’re looking to stay out of the sun altogether, here’s what’s playing at the air-conditioned Capitol Theatre (which also serves Richardson’s Ice Cream): 4.) Speaking of ice cream, why not stop by Brigham’s or the Chilly Cow? 5.) The Council on Aging has put together a list of tips to stay cool and a list of air-…
